Vocabulary Achievement at SDN Baratan 01 Jember in the 2011/2012 Academic

Year; Marita Elok Megawati, 060210401049; 2011 English Education Program of

Language and Arts Education Department, The Faculty of Teacher Training and

Education, Jember University.

Vocabulary is the basic thing in learning a language. It helps the students to

communicate well and to master the four language skills namely listening, speaking,

reading and writing. Dealing with English, vocabulary is the first step to learn

English especially at Elementary Schools, because without knowing a lot of

vocabularies in English, the students might experience difficulties in mastering

English. This research, focused on teaching vocabulary through songs especially for

young learners because they love to listen to musics and enjoy singing. English songs

are one of the media that can motivate the learners in language learning because they

can get something while they are singing songs.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of Teaching English

through Songs on the Second Grade Students’ Vocabulary Achievement at SDN

Baratan 01 Jember in the 2011/2012 Academic Year. The population of this research

was the second grade students of SDN Baratan 01 Jember in the 2011/2012 academic

year. The research respondents were determined at random through a lottery, after the

homogeneity of the population was found. The total number of the respondents was

66 students, consisted of 32 students of 2A as the experimental group taught through

Songs, while the control group consisted of 34 students of 2B taught by modeling

technique.

It was found that Teaching English through Songs in experimental group was

positively affected the students’ vocabulary achievement. The research results proved

that there was a significant effect of teaching English through songs on the second

grade students’ vocabulary achievement at SDN Baratan 01 Jember in the 2011/2012

academic year. It was showed by the result of the data analysis that was the value of

researcher also expects that the result of the research can give valuable information to

other researchers as the input or a reference to conduct a further research dealing with

teaching English through songs by using another or the same research design.
